Gimme’ Shelter – Shorty Blackwell at Providence Animal Control Center

Well hello! I was left behind on Bergen Street when my family moved away. I was stressed when I came to PAC; all I wanted was out and all I wanted was people to play with me. I took the confinement hard at first and then they took my trouble puffs … I have calmed down into an age appropriate gentleman and my sweet side has come out and boy… do… I… LOVE… other cats! Especially girl cats, yes please! I like to try to impress them in my awkward way, but I just want someone to hang around with please! I am about 11 months old.

If you can see me, I am still available! No phone calls please, everything is done online and we do need an application submitted and approved before scheduling a visit. We differ from other shelters by offering a one on one experience between you, our staff and the animal or animals you’ve chosen to become a new family member! Please email [email protected].

About the Providence Animal Control Division

The Providence Animal Control Division protects the health and safety of our residents and their pets with progressive leadership and education, and continues to engage the hearts and minds of the community to help all animals.

As of November 2015, the Animal Control Division has adopted a “low risk euthanasia” philosophy of healthy adoptable animals and will continue to improve the live release rate of shelter animals via adoptions, returning strays to their owners, transferring animals to rescues, TNR, programs/services and treating medical cases. We believe that with progressive programs, we can have a more humane City. Through our Gimme Shelter program, PAC is spaying and neutering owned and feral cats for Providence residents. To participate please send a message through our Facebook page at Providence Animal Care Center.
